Course Catalog Description:
WRIT 5532 is designed as a collaborative, developmental, and exploratory space for graduate instructors in the First Year Writing (FYW) program. The course approaches the teaching of writing as an iterative and situated process that is both practiced and studied, is aided by reflection with others, and requires ongoing revision. Course texts include scholarship in Teaching and Learning, in Writing Studies, and in First-Year Composition. These texts will be brought into dialog with the WRIT 1301 classes all students are teaching. The course addresses such questions as: How do people learn, how do they learn writing, and how can instructors teach writing based on those understandings? How can instructors design environments, materials, and practices that equitably help students learn about writing and develop as writers? Class discussions and assignments also invite students to identify and address challenges, tensions, and pedagogical issues of personal interest; to develop habits of mind that will serve them in other classrooms in their teaching careers; and to articulate the classroom practices and pedagogies informing their teaching philosophies. Students in the RSTC MA and PhD programs take WRIT 5532 in spring of their first year after taking WRIT 5531 in fall term. Graduate instructors from other departments who teach WRIT 1301 must register for one credit of WRIT 5532 in the fall and one credit of WRIT 5532 in the spring during their first year teaching in the FYW program. Spring sections of WRIT 5532 are organized as biweekly reflective practice groups (RPGs). RPGs will build on fall term course content in discussions of readings, in teaching journal reflections, and to build teaching portfolios.
